Moodle Feature - Forum

Forums are like online message boards. You can post a message and others can respond over the following hours, days or even months. There is also the option of including attachments with your post.

Members can subscribe to forums - and teachers can force everyone to subscribe when setting up the forum. By subscribing to a forum, participants will receive email copies of each new posting, if they have an enabled email address.

Forums are great for discussion both in and out of class. Some of the ways they have been used effectively are for school councils, prediction in literacy and discussion of whole school issues.
